Enjoy Some Past Events

		Book Talk - The Newark Minutemen Marin author Leslie Barry discusses her family's incredible true story: a Jewish boxer in 1930s New Jersey was recruited by the Jewish mob and the FBI to go undercover against the rising German-American Nazi party. Along the way, he falls in love with the enemy's daughter. The story is being made into a Hollywood movie.
		An Evening of Poetry We brought together two wonderful Marin poets to talk about their experiences as writers during a time of crisis, the importance of community, and their shared sense of reverence for the natural world. Jane Hirshfield is an honored and distinguished poet, and was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Meryl Natchez is a poet, translator, and reviewer, and chair of the Marin Poetry Center, which cosponsored this event.
		Theodore Bikel - His Life's Work From Fiddler on the Roof to Pete Seeger to Yiddishkeit and Hebrew music, join us for a wonderful presentation about Theodore Bikel's life, legacy, and art. Aimee Ginsburg Bikel, Theo's wife and director of the Theodore Bikel Legacy Project, will take us on a journey through Theo's life, showing video and music clips of some of his best work, as she shares this up-close-and-personal look at the actor, musician, and social justice advocate.
		Book Talk - The Four Keys of Kabbalah Rabbi Yisrael Rice of Chabad of Marin will talk about his new book, The Four Keys of Kabbalah, an in-depth look at Jewish mystical wisdom in an approachable and easy-to-understand format.
